I'm really not digging the negative, derogatory nature of this thread, all Rush songs are good, are me and TheRocinanteKid the only ones who think this??

No you're not.

Recently I've realized that all Rush is good. Some just take more listens than others to really appreciate them. I know that Test For Echo is good but I'm still working on appreciating them. Doesn't mean they're bad.

Interests:I like Rush, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Deep Purple, all of those good band, Aerosmith as well. I Love rush so much, I just wish I could see them a few more times. Geddy is my favorite bassist, he is just so incredible, how fast he goes. I like to play bass, guitar, synthesizers vocals for my band, Unknown. We should go touring in about 10 months (delay), but we need a new drummer. Alex lifeson is a great guitarist, and neil peart is the greatest drummer ever!

That fateful combo was responsible for me skipping the T4E tour. Who would have thought a bad album wouldn't be enough for a person to not see that show even with a full 2112 and (I didn't know at the time) return of Natural Science?

I think it might be saying something when some songs get negative feedback from a lot of people, like Dog Years, Anagram, etc. I don't know if it's the songs as much as the "era" of Rush though. They do follow trends of the time a little bit, while putting their own spin on the music. But this has always been the case. I like almost every last Rush song, there are just a few I don't care for. However, what I feel like listening to just changes from time to time. I have heard a lot of music that I truly don't like, and I must say, there isn't a single Rush song that I wouldn't take over most other music in general.

Wish I could delete my post from two years ago.

Anyways I still feel the same - there's not a Rush song where I'm like, "gee this sucks, time to skip it" or whatever. The three records that I rarely listen to are Vapor Trails, Test for Echo, and Rush, and I still like those records and the songs from them. I guess my least favorite, along with everyone else here, is "Anagram (for Mongo)". I like it, but at the same time there's nothing really special in it - well, except for the piano during the bridge. That's probably its one saving grace.
